Not surprising, the ratings for Jessica Simpson’s VH1 reality show The Price of Beauty were…ugly.

Despite heavy promotion, Monday’s premiere attracted just 1 million viewers. Around 487,000 people tuned in for the encore later in the night. The show got beat by a rerun of NCIS on USA, a TruTV series called Operation Repo and History Channel’s Pawn Stars (which rocks by the way).

Just so you’ll understand how bad only 1 million viewer is, former American Idol Fantasia Barrino had a stronger debut for her VH1 reality show, Fantasia For Real. Her show premiere nabbed 2.3 million viewers and no one gives a crap about her.

A VH1 rep tells Us: “We’re very pleased with the show. A million-and-a-half viewers tuned in that night to see the first episode. We expect that audience to build even more.”

Maybe if they get a new host. The premise is not bad…it’s just too painful to watch Jessica Simpson stumble her way through anything. Seriously VH1…we can’t take her seriously. If you want her on your network put her in a comedy.

Once a goofy blond, always a goofy blond. I actually think the concept for The Price of Beauty if interesting enough to watch. But I just can’t force myself to watch dork girl for 30 straight minutes at a time.

In this clip, 29-year-old Simpson and her two pals visit a Buddhist temple in Thailand. As a Buddhist monk teaches the trio how to meditate, Jessica can’t help being Jessica.

I guess we should cut Jessica Simpson some slack since she just watched her dog get eaten by coyotes. But I mean when you Tweet stupid shit..its gets repeated…alot.

Just days after the unfortunate dog-eating incident Jess flew straight to Africa to film another installment of her new show The Price of Beauty.

Jessica and co. were not prepared for the climate change I guess.  On the first night in Ugunda,  with the help of her BFF Cacee Cobb and her hairdresser Ken Paves, who are all traveling with her on the show’s dime, she posted this photo, along with the tweet “WTF?!? Do I really have to sleep like this?” on her Twitter feed.
